Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 108 108. Cooperation

The recording of "showmethemoney" has reached the group stage, but only the first two rounds are broadcast on TV.The audience's perception of the show is still "p-type is actually eliminated", "cknut is a mad dog biting Song Minho", "idolrapper is reasonable besides Song Minho and Lee Joohyun", "basick and lilboi are powerful"" That mixed-race rookie idol will definitely leave in the next round", but after getting a basic understanding of the players, it is natural to want to know which team the player you like has been assigned to after a few rounds.The audience's desire for "spoilers" is much stronger than when the show was not broadcast.

The result is that after two episodes, everyone's desire for spoilers is much stronger than when it was not aired.Later, the first episode of the "Infinite Challenge" Ballad Festival was broadcast. Zheng Zhiyong's presence not only increased the ranking of a bunch of songs on the music source chart, but also raised everyone's expectations for the result of "showmethemoney".Later, there was a spoiler—the grouping results were posted on the Internet and widely circulated.

The comments are not bad, except that p-type was eliminated in the second round because he forgot his words, and among the capable rappers, only Xikou "don't know why" was not included in the 16-man squad.Netizens talked more about who joined which team, for example thinker joined YG, did he intend to sign a contract with YG, Song Minho really got together with his long-time best friend Zico, the team of Sane and Verbaljint is simply as strong as Yun's death group... But the program group can't sit idly by, they already know the result before the third round is aired, this will affect the ratings very much!

The list is true, they cannot be directly denied.The program team thought about it, and cut out the video of the duel between One and Zheng Hanhai as a preview of the third round, and put it on the official website.

One and Zheng Hanhai cooperated tacitly and each had their own characteristics in the third round of one-on-one sessions, which received unanimous praise.Released as a preview can not only increase the interest in watching the third round, but also make some people mutter:

These two people have already met in the third round but both entered the group roster... Is it because of a problem with the roster or there is a rematch?

It's not that no one has guessed that the program group uses this method without directly denying it. Most of the big lists circulated on the Internet are close to each other.However, if you can bring more shocks, you can restore more ratings, and the program group still has to do this.

These disturbances are something the program crew has to worry about, and Zheng Zhiyong has never been concerned.In the YG team, running in with other people is the most important thing, who made the next two rounds of team tasks?

Regardless of the fact that there are only two rounds, the first round eliminates one team, and the second round decides which team has two places in the top six and which team has only one, it is very important.

Of course Zheng Zhiyong was not the only one who realized the importance of the team. On the second day after the grouping results came out, the YG team had a small gathering under the auspices of Tablo, and discussed the following matters without a camera.

As for the two jinuseans...they really don't have any sense of existence, they sit next to tablo when recording the show, like tablo's left and right protectors.Zheng Zhiyong once seriously thought about it, maybe YG saw that Tablo's talent selection in the third season was too poor, so he sent Jinusean to give him palms, but now it seems that the effect seems to be mediocre...

However, the gathering is basically business-like. Informing the recording arrangement of the program, coordinating the time, and determining the theme are all business matters anyway. The four of yg are not familiar with each other, and it is too much effort to get acquainted in a day.The most important thing for Zheng Zhiyong happened when Tablo proposed to play a game first and then go to work: "Play? What form?"

"something wrong?"

"Reject sports", Zheng Zhiyong said, "otherwise I will die a miserable death."

"I know." Tablo is easy to talk about. It's not a secret that Zheng Zhiyong's health is not in good shape, and it's just to verify the authenticity of the rumors.

After the breakup, Zheng Zhiyong called Tablo again, this time in a less calm tone: "Can I not change my pants and shoes?"

"Huh?" Tablo didn't understand.

"One of my legs is short, and if I change my pants or shoes, it will reveal my secrets." Zheng Zhiyong had no choice but to explain in detail, "I don't want to say it so early."

"It's okay...I wanted to soak them together in water", but it's not a big deal to remove this part. "What are you going to do when you take a promotional photo? Do you want to finish shooting a set of clothes?" Afterwards, all teams have to take promotional photos According to the photo, it is very common to change a few sets of clothes at this time.

"I'll discuss it with them, otherwise I'll bring a few sets myself." The eldest sister bought a bunch of Zheng Zhiyong for him before and didn't have time to wear a few, so it's good to use them now.

"Okay," Tablo readily agreed, "They know?"

"know."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zhiyong rubbed his temples with a headache.

The phone was not the time to go into detail about how he limped a leg, so Tablo didn't pursue it, but at least he was a more familiar senior plus an elder, so it would be sooner or later to give a more detailed version.It is such a troublesome thing not to be disclosed to the public. When encountering a situation where he has to speak out, he has to explain to the relevant people one by one. Over the past few months, Zheng Zhiyong has almost memorized the relevant rhetoric.

At that time, he couldn't imagine what kind of explosive reaction "Infinite Challenge" would bring him, but on July 7th "Infinite Challenge" was broadcast, and then several songs related to him on the music list began to retrograde wildly, Zheng Zhiyong Stepping into the studio of "showmethemoney" again, the atmosphere I felt has been subtly different from the producer's performance a few days ago.

The hip-hop talent show for young people is different from the national variety show for all ages. A large part of the audience of "showmethemoney" has been circled, and almost half of South Korea knows it, and it is also different.With Zheng Zhiyong's current popularity and "showmethemoney"'s enthusiasm for the topic, as long as Zheng Zhiyong does not make serious mistakes, the program team will definitely escort him. It is of course a good thing for the program team, after all, higher ratings are more The topic of the topic means better performance and more salary. For the players, when others become popular because of another program during the competition, they get more bias and attention from the program group that determines the competition system. what a good thing.

People from other teams don't deal with each other for the time being, and the few members of YG team are indifferent. Superbee and Innovator should be concerned about the fact that Zheng Zhiyong has already basically booked a place for promotion. Incredivle is young and not very famous, so he is not so sure about promotion. It is said that they can get along better, but the producers of the YG team On the day I took them out to play, in addition to having a big meal, I also set up a hidden camera, let four people come to a temporary period, and finally eliminated one. The eliminated person set by the producers in the hidden camera was Incredivle, although I told the truth later, I have no experience. Incredivle, who has been through this kind of battle, is still a little stimulated, and now he is a little embarrassed with them-mainly with Zheng Zhiyong.

Who made it so that at that time only Zheng Zhiyong could see that the program group was playing with hidden cameras, and when the other three reacted strongly, he was calm and calm, but others didn't see that something was wrong, only Zheng Zhiyong was relying on his strength and resources Confident about the results?

So why do you want to play this set for rappers who have no artist experience!Those who cannot be seen are wasting their emotions in vain, and those who can be seen have not practiced enough to pretend to be ignorant in front of the camera, which is embarrassing in the end.

Zheng Zhiyong, who is pessimistic about the future teamwork of the YG team, thinks.

This was indeed the case during the rehearsal, the synchronization rate of the four people's movements was appallingly low, Zheng Zhiyong was bumped into by the innovator who was moving when he bent down a little to read the rap (otherwise he would have stood straight up) to match the stage atmosphere. It turned out that he almost fell to the ground, and the coordination of other gestures was also horrible. Tablo couldn't sit still after seeing it: "You said you want to win the championship, is this the strength of the championship?"

If you don't cooperate well, it will be really miserable, my lord, Zheng Zhiyong slandered.

This is because he suppressed the embarrassment and started from Incredivle, and then went to persuade the Innovator. The last four people tried to cooperate a few times, or because of their unfamiliarity, the tempo may not be right when they rap. good.

Even so, what should be practiced still needs to be practiced.

The four of them returned to the YG team's lounge in the background, and fell silent for a while.Zheng Zhiyong glanced at the camera, feeling irritated spontaneously.When I am alone, I can be nailed to the ground without losing my aura. When I cooperate with others, I have to move or it will be too abrupt. I am always worried that if I don’t pay attention, I will lose my balance on the stage. Zheng Zhiyong’s pressure is not as great as others, but It's definitely not as small as others think.

But Zheng Zhiyong's distress was not caused by his current teammates, and Zheng Zhiyong would not vent his anger on them.He just made a suggestion calmly: "There is still time, practice again?"

"Unexpectedly, you are the most positive person." Innovator said.

Zheng Zhiyong, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up when he heard this, and assumed a standing posture that he often used in rap: "If all four people stand like me on the stage, I have no objection. "

Zheng Zhiyong's joke made the other three laugh in unison, but Superbee still couldn't hold back what was in his heart: "You really put your heart into it, I thought it didn't matter to you what happened to the stage."

"Having a good stage is not a bad thing for everyone." The innovator responded to Zheng Zhiyong's call and stood up to prepare for practice, but what he said was a bit awkward, and he could go to the level of "Zheng Zhiyong wants to add icing on the cake" think.

Zheng Zhiyong's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know if he was thinking too much - after all, this kind of thing had never happened before, so he didn't comment on the innovator's words, but he didn't turn a deaf ear to the outside voices of his teammates.

"I still have some trouble putting the focus of the stage on the movements," he mentioned with emotion, "I'm not very good at balance, and now that I'm familiar with the route, I can avoid you a little bit... Are you still coming?"

Regardless of whether you use it as an excuse, I am not sleeping on the fame I already have - when I was active as a rapper, although Zheng Zhiyong was polite, he still had the temperament he should have. .

The four members of the YG team had a mediocre relationship. Now Incredivle, Innovator and Superbee have their own ideas because of Zheng Zhiyong's existence, but Zheng Zhiyong, who is well educated and not very good at hooking up, doesn't want to spend too much time on improving the relationship. .

Let's do this first, anyway, one will be eliminated soon.

But not every team is like this. The aomg team that was the first to perform on stage could feel a harmonious relationship even if they closed their eyes and listened to their cooperation. Lilboi, the earthlings, sik-k and davidkim didn't have much friendship before, and now it can't be said that they are all good at cooperating with people.

People in the program team also said that Jay Park is very lilboi... People have different preferences, but Jay Park is not someone who makes others feel neglected just because he likes a certain one.Zheng Zhiyong's idea of ​​joining the aomg team was rejected so many times, but it didn't affect his perception, did it?

The aomg team's collaboration song is called "respect", the beat is written by gray, the lyrics with the theme of "respect" are clean and positive, coupled with the excellent stage coordination of the aomg team, the sound source performance after the program is broadcast is very worth looking forward to.

The four played well, but one was always eliminated. The aomg team finally eliminated davidkim, the oldest player in the team, according to the typhoon.

Speaking of davidkim and Jay Park, there is still some "marriage" in a roundabout way. His original stage name is dayday. He has been active in dalmation launched by mc dream, and he has also been a rap teacher in jyp. Think again that Jay Park is from jyp artist...

Zheng Zhiyong shook his head.

In the final analysis, he was just working for others, Jay Park would not mind this, he was still a little sensitive.

And after the dust settled on AOMG's elimination candidates, it was YG's turn to take the stage.

The beat used by the yg team is called "og", which means "original gangster". It is the work of the composer choice37 of yg company. The rap lyrics are written by the players themselves, including the chorus part that needs to be cooperated together.

After tablo introduced the song, he shouted "og" together with jinusean on the Wannian background wall, marking the official start of the stage, and the preheating of the song was completed by superbee:

"ok, what'sup, showmethemoney. wearetamyg. incredivle, thinker, innovator. oki'msuperbee."

"Og, beoringinal, no matter how you look around, it's nonono."

The YG team's cooperation has a very clear pattern.

The short passage from "og" to "that'snonono" has to be done cooperatively, although sometimes the stress on the "og" doesn't fall together, and all four people have to open their mouths.

When the four of them are rapping separately, others will recite the endings of superbee, incredivle and innovator together to create momentum, and Zheng Zhiyong basically reads from beginning to end alone when it is the turn of the four.

It's not him alone, flow is the soul of his rap, Zheng Zhiyong is really worried about cooperating with them on this, like incredivle's voice is concise, but at the end of the sound, he can clearly hear superbee's hoarse and sharp voice, this effect Zheng Zhiyong is not acceptable.

He can cooperate with others, but let others cooperate with him.

"Come to "showmethemoney" and catch the "Infinite Challenge" ballad festival. I have an undoubted talent. I can grasp luck and enjoy luck. You all understand without clamoring. If you want to be original all the time, strength is the confidence. "

Although it is much more modest and tactful than Superbee's "youknowwhattimean? The champion is mine", but in Zheng Zhiyong's lyrics, "unquestionable talent" is considered a rare arrogance.

But reading such words, Zheng Zhiyong is not guilty at all, his family background can at best reduce some malicious calculations for him, the favoritism of "showmethemoney", the choice of "Infinite Challenge" and even the optimism of An Shuojun, It is all based on the value that Zheng Zhiyong's own strength, talent and experience can bring to them.

He earned today's situation by himself, and he didn't take anyone into account, so why should he feel guilty?

Zheng Zhiyong's rap words are dignified and loud, but when everyone swayed his body, his movements were still a little stiff.The body is on the one hand, and on the other hand, those movements that are useful in hip-hop really do not conform to Zheng Zhiyong's aesthetics.

Even if the person doing those actions is Jay Park!

Fortunately, not everyone like Park Jay Bum takes action and typhoons as seriously. Under normal circumstances, these can be regarded as auxiliary standards, and the most important thing is rap.

Zheng Zhiyong's rap has not yet reached the point where the producers who decide whether he will stay or not need to consider the "auxiliary criteria", so he has advanced - in fact, even if it has reached that level, because the typhoon and the like have limited differences among the audience, for the sake of the program's ratings Guess he should still be left behind.

Those who are eliminated are innovators.

Zheng Zhiyong sent him off with a serious face, and then quietly observed Incredivle and Superbee - no expression.
